This reader consists of the full Arabic texts of eleven short stories by established Egyptian, Iraqi, Syrian and Jordanian writers. The earliest story, written in 1929, is by the Egyptian MaḥmÅ«d ṬÄÂhir LÄÂshÄ«n; and the most recent, written in 1972, is by the Iraqi writer, Fu’ÄÂd Al-TakarlÄ«. Each story is supplemented by an introduction, with biographical information about the author, placing him in his literary context; a description of the contents; and a brief analysis of the story itself, in English. Ideal for students of Arabic language and literature, the aim of this collection is to encourage a literary appreciation of modern Arabic texts and an understanding of some of the cultural conflicts reflected in the writings. Writers included are GhÄÂlib HalasÄÂ, YaḥyÄ HaqqÄ«, YÅ«suf IdrÄ«s, IdwÄÂr El KharrÄÂá¹ and Zakariyya TÄÂmir. Sabry Hafez is Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature at Qatar University. His publications include The Genesis of Arabic Discourse and The Quest for Identities (selected by Choice magazine as one of the outstanding academic titles of 2009), both by Saqi Books. Catherine Cobham is a lecturer in Arabic and Middle East Studies at the University of St Andrews. She has translated the works of Adonis, NagÄ«b MaḥfÅ«z, Mahmoud Darwish, Hanan al-Shaykh and Fu’ÄÂd Al-TakarlÄ«, amongst others.
